Ever since his 1979 breakthrough hit, "My Bologna," 1983 self-titled breakthrough album, "Weird Al" Yankovic has built a solid reputation been unsurpassed as a proven purveyor of parody musical satire. His hit classic film, UHF, a string of Grammy Awards and an avid (if not rabid) fan following made his 1997 television series, The Weird Al Show, an cosmic inevitability.Yankovic's signature silliness warped comedy, original songs, TV and movie spoofs, offbeat animation, and ability to attract a wonderful and motley collection of special surprise guests musical and other guests are what make the 13 episodes of this CBS Saturday morning show a treasure chest of all things Al. As an inventor living in a secret subterranean workshop, Weird Al's world includes his pet (Harvey the Wonder Hamster), his superhero neighbor (The Hooded Avenger), the hysterical twisted animated "Adventures Of Fatman" and a quirky roster of friends and guests.
